FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h.
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration machine to operate
continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of
the refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food, keep the thermostat knob at medium position. Small quantities of
food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without adjusting the temperature control knob.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
MAKING ICE CUBES
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the Ice Bank. Loosen frozen trays
with the handle of a spoon, never use sharp edged objects such as knives, forks. Store
ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.
Note: If freshly made ice cubes are not consumed for several weeks and stored in Ice
Bank, they will slowly reduce in size and eventually disappear completely.
DEFROSTING
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.
The defrost water runs to the drain tube via a
collection container at the back of the appliance (1).
During defrosting, water droplets may form at the
back of the fridge compartment where a concealed
evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain
on the liner and refreeze when defrosting is
completed. Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects such as knives or forks to remove the
droplets which have refrozen.
If, at any time, the defrost water does not drain from
the collection channel, check that no food particles
have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube can be
cleared with a pipe-cleaner or pushing the special
plastic plunger provided down the drain tube (2).
Check that the tube is permanently placed with its end
in the collecting tray on the compressor to prevent the
water spilling. If the frost layer reaches about 1/4’’ (7
mm), reduce the setting (i.e. from 4 to 1) to restart
automatic defrosting.
B) Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment defrosts automatically.
Warnings!
The fan inside the freezer compartment circulates cold air.
Never insert any object through the guard. Do not allow
children to play with the freezer fan.
Never store products that contain inflammable propellant gas
(e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc.) or explosive substances.
Don't cover the shelves with any protective materials, which
may obstruct air circulation.
Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.
Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard to ensure that you obtain the best possible performance
from your appliance.
Warning!
Your appliance is fitted with a circulating fan which is essential for the performance of the freezer.
Please ensure the fan is not blocked (stopped) or impaired by food or packaging.
Blocking (stopping) or impairing the fan can result in an increase of the internal freezer
temperature (thawing).
